All of the previous posts have excellent information. You state your parents are not well, so IMHO I would suggest one of the assisted living facilities. These offer living arrangements from almost no assistance through full assistance and memory care. Using this approach, your parents would have new friends at the facility, and the capability to go to outside activities as their health permits.
If you are still looking at homes in TV, then contacting a sales agent, explaining the situation, and touring via the trolley are excellent options. You may want to concentrate in the Spanish Springs area, as most facilities are close by.
Hope this helps and good luck with your quest.
